Meet the Instructor
Maura Sharkey-Pryma BMus; MMus | Vocal Instructor & Clinician
"My purpose is to help each student build a solid musical foundation that will provide him or her a lifetime of enjoyment. I am most interested in uncovering and inspiring each singers' potential, and to be a guide: helping develop sustainable, functional skills in a healthy, efficient manner to meet the demands of the music. I believe in helping singers discover their voice in ANY genre in an authentic, emotionally honest expression, both physically and vocally."
